Indikation

By constructional measures on the injection system and by simple and permanent setting
of the ignition timing and the fuel rack reading - already during assembly of the engine -
adjustment of the firing pressures during the test bed run can be avoided.
Therefore, firing pressures and compression pressures are not stated in the acceptance
test records.
On the occasion of checks and measuring trips later on indicating shall not be carried
out. Only in exceptional cases and only after consulting the technical service VT5 the
setting of the injection pumps may be changed.

The following values serve for judgment on possible failures:

1. Engine speed

2. Fuel rack reading

3. Lubricating oil t inlet engine t oil cooler inlet

4. Fresh water t inlet engine t outlet engine

t inlet charge air cooler t outlet charge air cooler

t outlet turbocharger

5. Charge air temperature t before cooler t before engine

6. Exhaust gas temperature t after cylinder t after turbocharger

7. Lub. oil pressure

8. Fresh water pressure

9. Charge air pressure after charge air cooler

10. Differential pressure at the charge air cooler

If the cylinder head nuts cannot be loosened with P = 600 bar, an
increase by 50bar is possible. Further pressure increase involves the risk that the
thread will expand and the nuts will jam.

Removal
In order to avoid loosening of the cylinder liner during removal of the cylinder head or
subsequent turning, the cylinder liner has to be secured always in the crankcase by means of
the retainer. Before removing the piston the fire ring must be removed.

Bolts 1+2 = short + top


Bolts 3+4 = long + bottom
After tightening the big end bolts 1 and 2 to the final torque (350 Nm), tighten big end bolts 3
and 4 once more with the final torque (350 Nm) in order to avoid loss of pretension (settling
effect).

The final tightening torque corresponds to an angle of ratation of:


For bolts 1 + 2 at least 13°- 16°
For bolts 3 + 4 at least 17°- 19°
starting from the pretorque of 160 Nm

- Big end bearings
Together with the tool kit 2 tightening angle
gauges - one for the big end bolts 1-2 and
one for the big end bolts 3-4 -are supplied.
These tools serve for checking the tightening
angles stated above.

If after correct tightening of all big end bolts


the „minimum degrees“ are not reached, the
whole tightening procedure must be
repeated.

- Fitting of piston pin bush


Cool the piston pin bush down to ≤ -160° C and push it into piston pin boss, taking care
of the correct position of the oil bores. The lateral projection must be the same on both
sides. After reaching the normal temperature the piston pin bush has to be measured.

The reference dimension after shrinking-in in

Bearing caps and bearing shells are marked on S1 S2
camshaft side with the relative cylinder numbers,
counted from flywheel side. The parts must not
be mixed up.

- Located and normal main bearings 2
are identical; for axial fixing on bearing 2 (located
main bearing) thrust washers - 1 - with clamping
pins - 2 - are mounted on bearing cap - 3 -.
End clearance „S“ → = S 1 + S 2

If the main bearings cannot be loosened with


P = 750 bar, pressure increase by 50 bar to 3
800 bar is possible. Further increase of pressure
involves the risk that the thread will expand and
the nuts will jam. The bottom shells of the normal
main bearings have a guide groove on camshaft side. The located main bearing cap
(bearing 2) has a fixing pin on exhaust gas side.

The bearings with maximum stress are:


6 cyl. engine bearing 4
8 cyl. engine bearing 5
9 cyl. engine bearing 6
- Measurement of the gap
1. Remove lateral bolts of the
main bearing and loosen
those of the adjacent main KS KA
bearings by several turns
of thread.
2. Loosen both main bearing
nuts of one bearing pocket
in one operation.
3. Tighten main bearing nuts
by hand alternately and
steadily until the joint
faces of the bearing
shells just touch.
4. Check the projecting
length of the bearing shell by
measuring the gap between
cylinder crankcase and
bearing cap on camshaft and exhaust gas sides.

thread) is located to the left, distorted by approximately 30° (vertically above the
pressure connections is now a taphole). Measure the distance from crankshaft end to
gear wheel. Put on the adapter ring and take care that the positioning pin enters into the
blind hole. Screw in the threaded rod. The two locking screws are inside the holes.
Remove the locking screw of bore „Z“, screw in the pressure pipe and fasten it. Slide on
the pressure ring with the smooth side towards the gear wheel. In the pick-up pocket
there is the pressure pipe. Screw the nut on the threaded rod and tighten it by hand
After connecting the pressure pump apply a pressure of approximately 500 bar.
Slide the gear wheel on the cone up to the limit stop using a ratchet and the nut. The slide-
on distance on old engines (mounting gear wheel on crankshaft variant -01) is
4.5 mm -7.2 mm and on new engines (mounting gear wheel on crankshaft variant -02).
6.1 mm -9.1 mm
Lower the pressure to 0 bar. Do not dismount the hydraulic pump so that the oil may flow
off. After at least 20 minutes the device can be removed.
Fasten the oil splasher on the gear wheel.
Mount the end cover. If there are no dowel pins (old engines) this cover must be centered
with a dial gauge.
Dismounting proceeds in reverse order. Please take care that there is a distance of
approximately 1 mm between pressure nut and pressure ring.

adjustment of the commencement of fuel injection with built up injection


pump
The roller of the pump drive of cylinder 1 is located on the base circle. Remove the con-
necting piece and the pressure-balancing delivery valve from the injection pump. Fix a dial
gauge on the pump (touches the plunger). Turn the engine in sense of rotation until the
dial gauge indicates 5 mm (old engines; 170 kW/cyl.) (4 mm: new engines; 190 kW/cyl.).
Screw the pressure pipe into the respective taphole of the camshaft and tighten it. Mount
hydraulic pump and apply a pressure of approximately 900 - 1000 bar. Turn the
crankshaft to the respective commencement of fuel injection (see test bed record).
remark:
If necessary, the camshaft ought to be fixed (is normally not necessary with built up
injection pumps). After mounting crankshaft gear wheel and flywheel check the TDC-
position of the first cylinder in view of correct flywheel markings! If necessary, new
markings must be applied.
